The IBM 1015[1][2] is a display terminal for the IBM System/360.[3][4][5] IBM suggested that it be used for phone-based customer support.[6]: p. 6
History[edit]
It was exhibited during the 1964 introduction of the IBM System/360 and included in the official System Summary.[7] Other display devices introduced and co-marketed by IBM were the IBM 2250[6]: p. 6 and the IBM 2260.[3]
Product description[edit]
The screen was round,[7] and it sat forward and above a keyboard. The display area could hold 30 lines, each with up to 40 characters, selected from A–Z, 0–9, and 26 special characters. Output was 650 characters per second.[1] It came with a desk.[3] Up to ten 1015s could be connected to the IBM 1016 Control Unit or the IBM 1414 Input/Output Synchronizer.[5][6]
